Don't misunderstand me. I don't have the nostalgia attachment to the films that others at this forum do, but I'm every bit as pissed off. Only from me, it's just due to my censorship morals and my beliefs on artistic merit.
I also don't like it when the big guns try to tell me what I am and am not allowed to buy with my money. I mean hey, its MY dollar I'm spending, and I broke my back earning it. Either Lucas is going to put out what I like, or he's not getting my dollar. Period.
I also hate people who try to force their beliefs on others, which is exactly what George Lucas is doing. No matter what self-serving philosophy the conformists come up with about him being the creator, its not any more right for him to do it than it is for anyone else.
I honestly do feel this entire freaking issue is handled from entirely the wrong angles. I mean seriously, the Lucas suck-ups do nothing but talk about how he's the creator so he can do anything he wants (that's like saying its okay for parents to beat up their child), while the fans talk endlessly about how they grew up with the originals, coming off as little more than nostalgia-mongers. As far as I've seen (and excuse me if this sounds arrogant) I'm the only person who wants the original version on DVD yet is actually not a huge/religious fan of Star Wars itself. The arguement really needs to find more angles, or at least start playing up the more compelling/intelligent ones (such as George's hypocrisy on the colorizing of black and white films).
EDIT: Now that I think about it, what the hell does the term "grow up on the internet" mean?
